Chapter 25 - Jake POV

I could tell something was wrong. Luv looked upset. But she just came from her coaches office and I'm not really sure how she usually feels leaving his office.

I cautiously walked up to her and have her a big hug.

"Hey pretty lady, what's the matter?"

"Why don't you ask Zeke?"

"Stella couldn't have been picking on you today, her and Zeke broke up, she's been crying all day I've heard"

"And why did Zeke and Stella break up Jake?"

"Well I don't know. I'm on my way to see Zeke now to talk about it."

"Well have fun with that" Liv said as she started to pull away.

"Hey I don't need to see zeke if you need me."

"I really appreciate it Jake, but I think you should talk to Zeke". She kissed my cheek and walked off.

I headed over to the dorm and saw him.

"Hey J, we need to talk"

"Yeah we do, heard you and Stella broke up! I'm sorry, I guess now isn't a good time to talk about my date"

"Actually we kind of should talk about it". Now I'm confused. Why does he want to talk about it?

"Well it went amazing. I didn't even need you to wing man! We had an amazing dinner and we talked about Elle. Then we goofed off with the football. Then well ran into you. But luckily you didn't ruin the night. We had the most amazing sex. At first I tried to be very careful with her. But she was an animal. She rode me for round two and asked for a round three in the shower. I was rambling so much I told her how much I liked her and she agreed to date me!" "But what about Stella, why did you finally realize you weren't happy with her?"

"Jake..."

"What dude?"

"I'm in love with her."

"Well then why did you break up with her?"

"Not Stel, Jake"

"Well then who are you— wait no. No. You don't get to do this."

"Jake I didn't do it on purpose"

"Dude. You had over two years. Two years to decide if you liked her or not. But you never gave her the time of day. You never defended her when Stel bullied her, you never agreed when Connor and I would compliment her appearance. You had a chance. A chance to have her. A chance to stop me from pursuing her. You missed those chances."

"But I didn't realize how much I loved her until I realized how jealous I was when I saw her with you."

"No Zeke. You are too late. I can't believe you!" I stormed off. I could t believe him. And he clearly dropped this all on Liv this morning and that's why she was upset.

I texted Sawyer to go get Maggie's key to the dorm.
